Another great example of why we need PR.
Palantir’s deranged manifesto shows why it should be nowhere near our public services.
This is not a normal company, it's Trump's favourite tech firm and a danger to our NHS.
Wes Streeting isn't listening ... or worse, he's keeping Palantir's secrets.
Take action and say no to Palantir 👇

I'm sure no one takes me seriously (and quite right that they don't), but there is a consensus building across the fields I work that the UK universities are in precipitous decline. The effect has been somewhat hidden by what is happening in the states and elsewhere. But this is bad.
I'm sorry, but this is utterly unacceptable from Stonewall's new Chair. And entirely unnecessary. Nothing is gained from this except communicating to trans people that Stonewall does not care about them.

It’s worth reading the whole Palantir piece to see that they are leaning in to being the Legion of Doom.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social 💯 on point as usual 👏👏👏
BREAKING: An all-time record number of US senators just voted to block bombs and bulldozers to Israel.
Republicans and a handful of Democrats stopped the resolutions from passing, allowing $450 million worth of weapons to keep flowing to Israel. from @premthakker.bsky.social
It's easy to lose the substantive win here in the Government's transphobic framing. Last summer, we expected the Code to be forced through without scrutiny. Instead, they have had to amend it and recognise they got their legal analysis wrong. It was our community's hard work that achieved this.
Join @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk tomorrow for a big announcement regarding the NHS.

Data used to justify the expansion of controversial software in the NHS is flawed, experts say, and the pilot trust’s innovation adviser worked directly for Palantir

💯 this!
As Hungary votes, would recommend this piece about how Viktor Orban has used public money to bankroll an international ultraconservative network - including Roger Scruton cafes and €10k a month for failed Reform candidate Matt Goodwin

This is quite extraordinary- scientists set a kind of trap for AI chat bots by inventing a fake disease. AI told people it was real and… the deliberately bogus preprints started being cited in peer reviewed literature 🫣

Donald Trump post threatening Iran, saying “a whole civilisation will die tonight.”
After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice.
Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.
Iran Embassy in Zimbabwe • @IRANinZIMBABWE X.com 8 P.M. is not that good. Could you change it to between 1 and 2 P.M., or if possible, 1 and 2 A.M.? Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I.E.Z. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - 36m Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!
Still trolling. He thinks he’s a tough guy but the entire world sees him as a pathetic loser.
The NHS is using thousands of “locally employed doctors” on short-term contracts to keep services running. In Novintan’s hospital, two thirds of doctors on the rota are in non-training posts. “There’s a real need for all of those jobs,” she said.
